Confusion Four
It seems that the story reaches to the end; however, it is not finished. Hu didn’t want to tell more stories. His wife continued the story. Let me put more words following the last blog article.
During the visiting China, Hu bought two big suitcases of gifts for every relative or close friend. Absolutely, all of the gifts were so called famous brands, such as Nike, Adidas, Columbia, Reebok and so on. The problems come from those gifts. Several his relatives told him, “The gifts are so beautiful, please buy more for us, once go back to the US.” But, nobody gave Hu one dollar for payment. They must think Hu can easily pick up money on the US soil without making any efforts.
Let me take Hu’s aunt, his father’s younger sister, as an example to tell you how hard to buy those goods required by them. The gift Hu gave his aunt was a pair of Nike shoes. It was the second time Hu saw her. The aunt asked him to buy a globally most famous table tennis racket for her.
That was the fourth time that Hu was confused, “Why buy a table tennis racket from the US? If she wants a basketball, it is absolutely reasonable to buy from the US. In fact, everyone knows that the most famous racket should in China instead of in the US. China has taken over the championships in world table tennis games for long time.”
However, Hu is nice guy and never likes to refuse any relatives’ requests. In the US, Hu visited the most luxurious sport stores one by one and tried to find the best racket. Unfortunately, he only found rackets, which were below $100.
Hu searched internet and finally found the most expensive one in Japan. He paid several hundred dollars and bought one online. The hard thing was that it could not be able to ship to China directly. The racket was shipped to the US first, and then Hu shipped it to his aunt in China. The total shipping fee costed more than two hundred dollars. No doubt the racket absolutely is the most expensive one.
Actually, no matter how hard to understand some requests is; no matter how ridiculous something is; and no matter how difficult to deal with someone, the key to get the happiness is to help people to obtain what they want.
Confusion Five
Hu’s wife complained her husband’s relatives were impolite. Hu brought two big suitcases gifts from the US for his family members in China. But, they didn’t feedback anything to Hu and his family members in the US.
That was the fifth time that Hu was confused, “Why don’t grandparents give any gift to grandchildren? Why don’t my siblings give any gift to my disabled wife to comfort her?”
Before visiting China, the couple spent several months for buying the gifts. Since only Hu made money to support the family, they tried to find the lowest price for good gifts to save money. Especially, in order to shop, Hu‘s wife needed the help of the wheelchair. Hu pushed wheelchair and visited almost all outlets around the city. Their behavior may affect God’s feeling and other people except Hu’s relatives.
She said, “I mature enough to forgive them, but I am not stupid enough to respect them again.”
So far, Hu is still busy with shopping and sending packages to his relatives in China. He’s wife was very unhappy about Hu and complained him spent too much money and time for his relatives every weekend.
Actually, in addition to the money, the best gift you can give others is your time and consideration. The couple should understand each other, support each other and care for each other. During the life long journey, the safest place was husband’s arms. He not only highly raised wife up on the most honor position but also tightly hug wife at the weakest moment.
From five confusions, you should get a clue that why Hu mocked himself, “This trip making me 裏外全都不是人, 在哪裏都不招待見.”
